According to the latest figures from the Center of Automotive Management, overall registrations for battery electric vehicles in the EU, EFTA, and the United Kingdom have only slightly decreased by 5.5% from January to August 2024 compared to the previous year. The fact that there isn't even an increase is solely due to developments in Germany, where the end of the electric vehicle subsidies at the end of 2023 led to a significant 32% drop in registrations of electric vehicles to 241,911 units. A similar picture emerges for Sweden, where changes in subsidy policies led to a sharp 21% decline in that segment. Otherwise, only Italy shows a significant decrease in electric vehicle registrations with -12.3%.

Britain and France Are Catching Up

Apart from that, there were significant increases in the electric car market in various European countries. In Britain (+10.5%), France (+8.1%), Belgium (+41.3%), and especially Denmark (+50.8%), electric vehicles made significant gains. With this momentum, Britain and France are increasingly catching up to Germany as the largest market for electric cars in Europe.
